Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,753 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 236 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC), the Boeing 777F began its journey down runway 35R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 172 kt after a takeoff distance of 2,136 m, which covered 72% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24 °C, with a gentle wind of 7 kt blowing from 210°, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 6 kt tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 117 nm in 19 minutes, increasing its altitude from 536 m to 10,870 m. The climb phase was followed by a 47-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 382 nm, before beginning its descent towards East Midlands Airport (EGNX). The descent phase was divided into several segments, with the aircraft descending from 10,636 m to 2,274 m in 19 minutes, and then from 2,273 m to 705 m in 5 minutes. The final approach to runway 27 at EGNX was made from the east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 kt and a touchdown distance of 240 m, which was 43% of the available runway.
The landing was followed by a rollout alignment that was slightly misaligned by 10.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,112 m, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm. The total flight distance was 675 nm, and the aircraft used 14,161 kg of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 115 minutes.
The Boeing 777F touched down on runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 140 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 240 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 133 kt was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -1.6 m/s was firm but not excessive. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.3 m, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and wind speeds of 23 kt at 230 °, contributed to a crosswind of 15 kt and a headwind of 18 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,112 m was 43% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.6 m, which may have been due to the same deviation in the approach path. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%.
